Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Ripe peaches are essential for sweetness and flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, you can use frozen peaches. Just thaw them before blending. Other fruits like mangoes can also work in a pinch!
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice provides a zesty brightness. If you don’t have fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice is fine. Lime juice is another great substitute for a different twist.
Simple Syrup: This sweetener blends easily into your drink. If you’d like a healthier option, you can use honey or agave syrup, adjusting the amount to your taste.
Sparkling Water: Club soda or any sparkling water will do. For a fun flavor, try flavored sparkling waters like peach or citrus. Just check that it’s unsweetened to keep it refreshing!
How Do I Make Smooth Peach Puree?
Making a smooth peach puree is key to this mocktail! Here’s how you can do it:
- Peel the peaches; this is optional but helps with texture. I find it works best to slice them into smaller pieces for quicker blending.
- Blend the peach slices with lemon juice and simple syrup until completely smooth. This might take 30 seconds or so.
- If you want a really silky texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp—but I usually skip this step for added fiber!

FAQ for Easy Peach Bellini Mocktail
Can I Use Canned Peaches Instead of Fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches if fresh ones aren’t available! Just make sure to drain them well before blending. You might want to reduce the amount of simple syrup since canned peaches are often sweeter.
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of the Mocktail?
You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to taste. Start with a tablespoon, taste the puree, and add more if you like it sweeter. Alternatively, you can use a sugar alternative if you’re looking for a healthier option.
Can I Make This Mocktail in Advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the peach puree ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve, just combine it with chilled sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing drink.
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Mocktail?
If you have any leftover Peach Bellini, store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. The bubbles might not last, but the flavor will still be delicious. You can always add a splash of sparkling water before serving again to refresh it!
